MATH115AB . 3 Years Ago

Agboola is an awful teacher. He is unexplainably rude and disrespectful. He is impossible to reach and talk to. He has no respect for students are anyone for that matter. A tech person came to class to fix the computer and Agboola simply was unbearably rude. The best thing that could happen is this teacher being removed form the university.

When asked what the format for the midterm was, he said I dont know thats a concept in the mind of god right now Class based 100% on 2 exams, pretty fair if you can teach yourself the material. Ask him how do you know and he answers you just do

115A . 4 Years Ago

Made the class 40% midterm and 60% final. The grading was harsh: he does not grade it himself, but he refuses to meet you in order to argue any points. Additionally, he is not in his office hours half the time, and he sarcastically answers your questions. No clarifications on his explanations, and lectures are very confusing, he only writes what he

Very intimidating at first. Teaches at a much higher level than you are expected to perform. Homework was rather difficult but compared to the homework tests were easy. Also he speaks with an English accent.

MATH220 . A Month Ago

We can all agree hes among the worst profs at UCSB, but here's a list of my favorite agboola moments: That time he told a prof to shut up/stop asking questions during a talk. When he got pissed because he heard a single NOTIFICATION. When he didn't answer a question because he thought it was too trivial (every single question hes ever been asked)
